Commissioned Artwork Salzburg
A watercolor painting by Anton Altmann (33 cm × 89 cm) from 1855 served as the starting point for the work. This image has been digitally restored and retouched.
With regard to the color scheme, the office environment was thought of and the palette was designed accordingly. It was important to bring the first color nuances into harmony and to let the picture appear in the colors that then shaped the entire picture composition. As a contrast to the historic city panorama, fragmentary wall graffiti structures and raster photographs of torn posters span the arc from old to new. The cityscape with its typical elements is still clearly recognizable and has been abstracted and painted over at the points that create the best possible harmony in a balance of opposites, without competing with one another. Delicate lines and subtle, warm color surfaces are juxtaposed with wild painterly gestures. Clear lines and surfaces were created with free forms and fragments from collages, décollages, spray paintings and drawing contrasts in order to create tension. This idea was condensed with macro shots of image fragments. The left part indicates a golden ratio. A nautilus snail symbolizes him on the right edge.
The delicate cherry blossoms should convey a certain lightness at the top and continue the image section.
In the entire work there is also a harmonious interplay of the contrasts between nature and architecture, which is stylistically underpinned from top to bottom by a light-dark contrast. The city as such is embedded in nature and forms an overall ensemble.
